"It's my experience. And if you don't like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don't feel like I'm supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I'm not. I'm right where I'm supposed to be."

Resolutions. What would we do without them? We could just pretend that we don’t have any specific intentions for the New Year. Or we could just list our goals and hope that we don’t jinx them by calling them resolutions.

Or… we could ask the Magic 8 Ball to predict the likelihood of hitting that goal. If it’s a negative response, well, hey! Check that off and move on!

Here are mine:

Will I get my pilot’s license this year?

It is decidedly so.

Will I complete my photojournalist project on “real women” this year?

Without a doubt.

Will I be on Sirius Satellite Radio this year?

Don’t count on it.

Haha… well, two out of three isn’t bad. Doesn’t mean I won’t work towards that goal… just might happen in early 2010!

Obviously, this is just for fun and while I don’t recommend basing life’s big decisions on the answers from a toy, it is interesting to see the answer. So, if you’re game, play along. Frame your resolution in the form of a question and click on the 8 Ball in the sidebar. Let us know what the outcome was in the comments section!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

LOL! Ah, now I remember why I don't do resolutions in the first place. 1. Will I be able to keep up a workout routine? "The answer is no."2. Will I be published in 2009? "Cannot predict now."Well, thanks Magic 8 Ball. Now I have to do actual work. Myself. Sheesh. ;)

This was a fun idea so I downloaded an 8 ball app to my iphone and gave it a go. I got good answers to all my serious answers (no nos) so thought I'd test it out on a silly one: Will I run out of toilet paper this year?I got "concentrate harder then try again"So I did and "my sources tell me no". Looks like I'm in for a good year!

I need to find a man like your magic 8 ball...it kept telling me exactly what I wanted to hear lol.

Happy New Years to you sugar plum.

Glad the past year brought you into my life...even if it is only via the web...when you're not cracking me up you're making me think with your insights about the world. May the new year bring us both happiness and a sense of balance b/t our marthas, marys and the million other roles we play. xo
